Linear Regression Model
Model equation:
Yi = α + β × Xi + εi
Top border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi + 2 × s)
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Yi) = Exp(a + b × Xi – 2 × s)
where:
i - observation number
Yi - natural logarithm of WCC price
Xi - time index, 1 day interval
σ - standard deviation of εi
a - estimator of α
b - estimator of β
s - estimator of σ
Exp() - calculates the exponent of e
Primary Trend
Start date: May 6, 2021
End date: January 27, 2025
a = 4.4723
b = 0.0004
s = 0.0880
Annual growth rate:
Exp(365 × b) – 1
= Exp(365 × 0.0004) – 1
= 16.16%
Price channel spread:
Exp(4 × s) – 1
= Exp(4 × 0.0880) – 1
= 42.20%

Top border of price channel:
Exp(Y321)
= Exp(a + b × X321 + 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 464 + 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4723 + 0.0004 × 464 + 2 × 0.0880)
= Exp(4.8388)
= $126.31
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y321)
= Exp(a + b × X321 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 464 – 2 × s)
= Exp(4.4723 + 0.0004 × 464 – 2 × 0.0880)
= Exp(4.4867)
= $88.82

= Exp(5.3978)
= $220.92
Bottom border of price channel:
Exp(Y1,256)
= Exp(a + b × X1,256 – 2 × s)
= Exp(a + b × 1,826 – 2 × s)
